WCR meeting for April :)

[Dragonvale]

Its that time to start thinking about the next up coming meeting! So, would the 3rd weekend of April work for a majority of you (April 20 or 21)? If so then which day would be preference Saturday or Sunday? Once we set a date venue, topic and prizes will follow If anyone has a suggestion or want to try something else out let us know. And for all of the individuals who never joined a meeting PLEASE come in and join in on the fun.

Weekend of the 20-21 sounds great and I'd prefer a sunday. How about the topic is zoas, zoas, and more zoas haha.

 

[northbay-reefer]

21 is better for me.

 

[lokii_37]

21 is better for me also.

Maybe we ask people for TOPICS they'd be interested in?

My opinion, having seen firsthand the difference in attendance at the meetings we are generating between meeting monthly on Friday evenings and every other month meetings on Sundays, is that we should keep the Sunday meeting format.

It's also easier on the "fragmaster", as coming up with interesting fresh frags for monthly meetings is more difficult, based on personal experience.

As far as topic suggestions: "The DIY Series". Each meeting could focus on a different "how to do it yourself" subject. Episode suggestions:

- How to mix your own supplements
- How to set up an ATO system
- How to set up an ATS
- How to set up a Calcium Reactor
- How to set up a Sump
- How to set up a Reef Controller
- Acrylic fabrication
- Custom hoods
- Custom stands
- QT
- Aquascaping
- Hard and soft plumbing
- Electric circuit load planning (or "Why can't I plug everything into the same outlet?")
- Taking pictures
- Propogation
- Dipping
- Acclimating
- Coral foods
- Fish foods
- Invert foods
- Fish health and diseases (or "What to do when Nemo ain't right")

That's more than 3 years worth of semi monthly meeting topics right there, without any guest speakers, bbqs or parties, which would hopefully be applied liberally throughout.

Ignore this post. Wish I could delete it.

I think a picture taking workshop would be very helpful

Oh my god I swear.... I went to super pets the other day since I was shirt on silicone to finish my sump and from their very small saltwater section I hear a couple screaming.... Oh honey look its Nemo look we should buy him.... Just wanted to walk up and punch the guy in the face and walk out.


But I think Sunday is fun day.... As long as its ok with the host

Love the riteous indignation. Good job Luis.

 

[gonzalez78]

Thanks Grant.... I need to stock my tank back up right now I'm filtering water to start it again hope I can get some of the ones I had before.

 

[Grant W]

If I have them.

 

[gonzalez78]

I know from you Grant I definitely want another piece of the bright green Formosa stag.... Then I also would love some 5 color rainbows as well as various plates and Monty's.
